Aquarelle seafood & mediterranean east village restaurant NYC

Seafood restaurants often define the rhythm of a neighborhood—especially in a city where the next meal is never far away. Aquarelle brings that tradition to the East Village with a Mediterranean twist, serving dishes that feel both familiar and unexpected. The menu leans into coastal flavors, pairing fresh catches with herbs and spices that hint at shores beyond New York. Lunch and dinner draw regulars, while solo diners find a quiet corner to enjoy the wine list or a well-crafted cocktail; dessert, too, has its loyal following. Along Avenue B, between the hum of foot traffic and the occasional street musician, you’ll find them at 47 Avenue B New York, NY 10009. Outdoor seating spills onto the sidewalk when the weather cooperates, and takeout keeps the kitchen busy even on slower nights. For a table or a last-minute order, call (212) 777-4547.
